I'm not one of those therapists who daydreamed about becoming a therapist as a child. I was dreaming of international law and becoming a polyglot and went on to study linguistics in college. But then life threw some curveballs (trauma, anyone?) and I found myself desperate for help. Therapy was my game-changer. Therapy helped me recognize the childhood trauma I was still limping from and replace survival coping strategies with healthier ones. I had no idea there was a way to live without constant panic, social anxiety, and fear of abandonment. Once I found my way through some of that, I figured, why not help others do the same?
Fast forward to grad school, I was disappointed by the lack of coursework on the effects of trauma on the mind AND the body. (So much of my own anxiety and trauma symptoms manifested in my body!) As an effort to fill in the gap, during my final year I got trained in EMDR, a trauma therapy modality. After about a year of practicing it with clients, I realized it wasn’t delivering the results I was hoping for so I went off-roading and discovered Organic Intelligence, a trauma-informed, nervous system-based approach that felt like the missing puzzle piece. It’s complex, holistic, and much more comprehensive than what I was taught in grad school or EMDR training. I’ve been hooked ever since, and I’ve been lucky enough to offer this life-changing support to clients for the past eight years, both as a therapist and as a nervous system-informed life coach.
I’m a lifelong student of human development, personally and professionally, and truly believe that therapy should be tailored to you. It might look like traditional talk therapy, but the way I respond to clients is rooted in how human nervous systems heal and transform. No two people are the same, and that’s what I love about this work.
I work with adult individuals and couples who are looking for more support with things like:
- anxiety & panic
- relationship dissatisfaction
- healing from childhood trauma
- spiritual integration and faith crises (aka the "Dark Night of the Soul")
- navigating tough relationship decisions (e.g., exploring non-monogamy or deciding whether to stay or go)
- love addiction & codependency
- integrating psychedelic experiences (inquire about Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, if interested)
- exploring identity

Why I started Interwoven -
Kyleigh Baker, LMFT #115535
Starting Interwoven Therapy was deeply personal. Like many of you, I’ve walked the road of therapy as a client—learning, growing, and sometimes feeling stuck despite all the insight and understanding I gained. For years, I struggled with patterns in my relationships, anxiety, and a sense of disconnect from myself. I understood why I was drawn to certain chaotic situations, why I was reactive, and why I felt disconnected, but the insight alone wasn’t enough to break the cycle. My nervous system needed healing, and that’s when everything changed for me:
I discovered Organic Intelligence, a nervous system-informed approach to trauma healing, and it transformed my life!
The healing wasn’t immediate, nor was it magical, but it was real. I didn’t just manage my symptoms; I began to feel freer, more connected to myself, others, and even the universe around me. Healing became more than just a process of insight—it became a transformation of how I lived and how I related to everything I was connected to.
I started this practice because I want to offer you what I found—real, lasting transformation that goes beyond managing symptoms. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, anxious, and overwhelmed by your own patterns. I also know what it feels like to find your way out, to begin the process of healing that reaches the nervous system itself. My approach isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about taking the time to rebuild the foundation of who you are, reconnecting to the deeper threads of your existence, and ultimately thriving.
I know it’s possible because I’ve done it. And I’m here to help you do the same.
And the name? I chose the name Interwoven Therapy Collective because it represents my belief that healing isn’t just about "fixing" isolated pieces of ourselves, but about recognizing and nurturing the intricate connections between all parts of who we are—our past, our present, our relationships, and our place in the world. It’s through understanding and restoring the interwoven nature of our nervous system, our history, and our future that true transformation happens. Though I am now the sole therapist at Interwoven Therapy, the name still reflects my approach: holistic, integrative, and deeply connected.
